The TOWNSTRY pair opened at 0.914 on 2025-09-23 at 16:00 ET and closed at 0.932 on 2025-09-24 at 12:00 ET, recording a high of 0.935 and a low of 0.881. The 24-hour total volume was 13,548,400, with a notional turnover of $12,345,600. A bearish trend became evident in the second half of the session, with price breaking below key support at 0.910 and testing a Fibonacci retracement level at 0.890.

A 20-period and 50-period moving average on the 15-minute chart showed the 50-period line crossing below the 20-period line, suggesting short-term bearish momentum. The 50-period daily moving average was above the 200-period line, indicating a longer-term bullish bias, but the recent 15-minute action may be testing this trend. A bearish engulfing pattern formed near 0.910, with a long lower shadow and strong volume, confirming the bearish move.

MACD lines showed a bearish crossover, with the histogram contracting as the price approached 0.890, indicating slowing momentum. RSI dropped below 30, reaching 28 at 0.887, signaling a strong oversold condition that may encourage a short-term bounce. Bollinger Bands expanded as volatility increased after 20:00 ET on the 23rd, with price staying near the lower band through most of the session. A volume spike occurred during the 0.910–0.890 breakdown, with a high of 1.7 million volume in one hour, suggesting significant liquidation pressure.

Fibonacci retracement levels at 0.910 (38.2%), 0.902 (50%), and 0.890 (61.8%) are now critical for near-term direction. Price tested the 61.8% level twice, with a strong rejection at 0.890. A potential bounce above 0.910 could trigger a retracement to 0.920–0.925, but a breakdown below 0.890 would target 0.870.

Backtest Hypothesis
The proposed backtesting strategy involves entering a short position when a bearish engulfing pattern forms below the 50-period moving average, confirmed by a volume spike exceeding 1.5 million and RSI dropping below 30. A stop-loss is placed above the high of the engulfing pattern, and a take-profit is set at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. The backtest would also include a trailing stop at 0.5% of the entry price for risk management. This approach aligns with the observed bearish reversal and oversold conditions seen in the TOWNSTRY chart over the last 24 hours.
